Reviews & Ratings

It had been a few years since I last saw Brent Weinbach perform, but he's still as hilarious as ever. Very dark, intense, weird, twisted stuff. Not your usual comedy club fare... which is a good thing, in my book. He is a unique talent in the world of stand-up.

Brent is an original. Go and see him for some original content. This is not your average talk stand up. This is very original routines and material. Warning: be prepared to feel uncomfortable and laugh at yourself for feeling this way!
